Tony Romo was caught in the crossfire during a snarky Twitter exchange between the Cowboys and Stars on Tuesday.

It all started when the Cowboys, responding to a tweet by someone trumpeting the impending return of baseball’s spring training, made a dismissive remark about hockey.

“Similarly in the category of nobody-cares … the NHL is back!” the Cowboys’ post read.

Before the biting comment was retracted, somebody with access to the Stars’ account shot back, offering a not-so-subtle reminder that Romo has yet to lead the Cowboys to a championship during the seven seasons in which he has been the starting quarterback. With an attached picture of former Stars great Mike Modano holding the Stanley Cup above his head in 1999, the tweet included 28 caustic characters arranged thusly: “At least our #9 got the job done.”

The Cowboys, not willing to continue the fight, tried to make peace.

Expressing regret for starting the skirmish in a different tweet, they wrote back the following message to the Stars: “Our sincere apologies for the inappropriate tweet posted accidentally to our account. Good luck this season.”
